Dec.

1994
Five
years
have
gone
by
Since
you
left
us
that
night
And
it
seems
like
we've
been
torn
in
hah;
What
we
miss
most
of
all
is
Your
mind
and
your
wit
And
the
way
you
could
make
us
all
laugh.
A
gingerbread
house
will
forever
remind
us
of
the
way
you
could
warm
our
hearts
and
make
us
laugh
even
in
our
darkest
moments.
We
miss
you
deeply.
Your
favorite
sister
and
family
Alexander
Solzhenitsyn
i^g
stars
.
you
will
not
succeed
in
touching
them
with
your
hands,
but
like
the
seafaring
man
on
the
desert
of
waters,
you
choose
them
as
your
guides,
and
following
them
you
reach
your
destiny."
